MAKE TO STOCK
STRATEGY - 10
Purpose
This planning strategy is particularly useful in mass production environments; it is often combined
with repetitive manufacturing. You should choose this strategy if you want production to be
determined by a production plan (Demand Management) and if you do not want sales orders to
influence production directly. One of the most important features of this planning strategy is that it
enables you to smooth the demand program.
Examples from Industry
Strategy 10 is used in the customer packaged goods industry because it is possible to plan the
demand for ice cream very easily, for example, while a single order should not affect production.
Strategy 10 is also used for products with seasonal demand where production needs to be
smoothed.
Prerequisites
You must maintain the following master data for the finished product:
Strategy group 10 on the MRP screen.
Item category group (for example, NORM) on the Sales Organization screen.
Availability check field in Customizing so that you perform an availability check without
replenishment lead times (in the standard system, you must enter 01 here). For more information
see the Other Areas section below.
